Now this is real breaking or (barking) news…

Internationally famous brunette sex symbol Angelina Jolie will soon be starring as internationally famous blonde sex symbol Marilyn Monroe.

Internationally famous salt-n-pepper sex symbol George Clooney will supposedly play Frank Sinatra, and the story will be told from the perspective of Monroe’s dog, a gift from Sinatra—not an internationally famous sex symbol. All this according to the book’s author, Andrew O’Hagan (i.e., it’s highly probable that none of this is happening, but it’s a great way to promote your book).

In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Mafia Honey, or Maf for short. He had an instinct for celebrity. For politics. For psychoanalysis. For literature. For interior decoration. For Liver Treat with a side order of National Biscuits.

Born in the household of Vanessa Bell, brought to the United States by Natalie Wood’s mother, given as a Christmas present to Marilyn the winter after she separated from Arthur Miller, Maf offers a keen insight into the world of Hollywood’s greatest star. Not to mention a hilarious peek into the brain of an opinionated, well-read, politically scrappy complex canine hero. [book description via Amazon]

So basically, Forrest Gump as narrated by Brian from Family Guy…
